Yes. The amount of air passing the outside of the container/object is far greater than that contained inside. As such the humidity in the contained air will be far less (in quantity than the dripping on the outside. Ethanol fuel will absorb a % of water hold it in suspension without freezing. Where it is used there is no need for "dry Gas" or "Heat". If the container is full, the volume of moisture laden air is smaller. If the container is almost empty, the opposite is true, and the remaining fuel is more contaminated. At some point the moisture will overwhelm the Ethanol and makes a mess. From EPA memo: "As an example, at 60 degrees F, water can be absorbed by a blend of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol up to a content of 0.5 volume percent before it will phase separate. This means that approximately 3.8 teaspoons of water can be dissolved per gallon of the fuel before the water will begin to phase separate." If it gets to that point, the water will pull ethanol out of the gasoline and make a snotty substance that is way bad. Any temperature change in the location of the container (or transmission case etc.) will breathe. In goes the moisture, out goes the drier air, leaving moisture behind. Over a period of years, gallons of water can accumulate in tractor transmissions from this action, especially if it is a little used tractor and never operates at load for hours. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
